Operations: Basellandschaftliche Kantonalbank generates revenue of CHF466.77 million from its banking segment, catering to both private and corporate clients in Switzerland.

Dividend Yield: 4.7%

Basellandschaftliche Kantonalbank offers a compelling option for dividend investors, with a dividend yield of 4.71%, placing it in the top 25% of Swiss market payers. The bank's dividends have been stable and growing over the past decade, supported by a reasonable payout ratio of 56.7%.

CPH Group

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: CPH Group AG, with a market cap of CHF446.04 million, operates in the manufacture and sale of chemicals and packaging films across Switzerland, Europe, the Americas, Asia, and internationally.

Operations: CPH Group AG generates revenue from its Chemistry segment (CHF128.62 million), Packaging segment (CHF219.70 million), and Spun-off divisions (Paper) segment (CHF245.37 million).

Dividend Yield: 5.4%

CPH Group's dividend yield of 5.38% ranks in the top 25% of Swiss payers, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a high payout ratio of 249.1%, indicating dividends are not covered by earnings. Despite a low cash payout ratio of 47%, past dividend volatility and recent financial setbacks, including a CHF 8.66 million net loss for H1 2024, suggest caution for investors prioritizing stable and reliable income streams.
